"Show-stopping, sassy and stylish, Sophie, Luke and their gorgeous, gorgeous wedding at Cripps Barn in the Cotswolds just oozed class and character.

All the wedding prep began at Barnsley House before heading over to the dreamy Cripps Barn which was dressed head to toe in stunning florals by Joanna Carter Flowers, and amazing rustic details. Have you seen the wooden crate dessert table yet? Definitely get your pinning fingers ready, not forgetting the hanging flower wheel, and reception decor with Candelabra centrepieces and fairy light backdrop, because you’re going to LOVE them too!

Nobody looked more in love or happier than the bride and groom in their fabulous attire with all the romance captured beautifully by Andy Gaines Photography. Sophie’s fishtail Costarellos gown in particular is an absolute gem with its intricate detail and peachy tone."

Here is what Sophie said ...

Flowers

Flowers were my number 1 priority (and surprisingly Luke’s too). Given we were getting married at the end of winter and in a barn, I was keen to dress the venue to the max to make it look romantic and magical, but not fussy.

Joanna Carter worked with us to create our truly incredible flowers which took my breath away and far exceeded our (and everyone’s!) expectations. Joanna is very detail oriented and works tirelessly to ensure that you get the right shades, types of flowers and arrangements to get the perfect display.

Our flower wheel above the ceremony was stunning and the similar table plan, fireplace and table centre-pieces really linked the two rooms together to create a light and beautifully romantic scene. I loved dealing with Joana and her passion really shone through (and she agreed to travel to our venue which was out of scope for her!). Absolutely beautiful work. I dried my bouquet and it now takes pride of place in our house!

We are very proud to see Nicola and Peter's beautiful wedding at Le Manoir profiled in this months edition of Brides Magazine. A first for us was when Nicola asked us to make a garland of flowers for her horse. Photograhpy by the talented and joyful Nicola and Glen from 'Weddings by Nicola & Glen'.

'Rose Gold'

OUR PREDICTIONS FOR POPULAR 2017 LOOKS

We think a really popular look for next seasons weddings will be rose gold and other metallic shades.

We have been using gorgeous soft gold roses like one called pale mustard and a beautiful taupe rose called Quicksand and think they are both stunning. We have been using them alongside rich warm gold achillea and a whole host of soft pink shades . Arranged in gold vases, or on vintage gold candelabra with the flicker of candlelight from votives it's a look we love! We put together some of these gorgeous colours at a recent photoshoot at Blenheim Palace to give you some inspiration!

If you would like to discuss your wedding and the ideas you have for 2017 please contact us for a consultation.
